Mohanlal's most expensive movie 'Odiyan' gets Navratri release!

Malayalam Super star Mohanlal's most anticipated fantasy thriller 'Odiyan' finally gets an official release date. Directed by popular AD film maker VA Shrikumar Menon, this movie has now been confirmed to hit screens on October 11 for the Navratri festival weekend.

Last week Mohanlal and his team unveiled a new teaser and it is just another effort to build the anticipation and add to the suspense around the upcoming film, which is easily one of the most awaited Malayalam films this year. Tipped to be Mohanlal's most expensive film in his career, Odiyan is bankrolled by Antony Perumbavoor under the banner Aashirvad Cinemas.

Director Shrikumar Menon has said that Odiyan is based on magical realism and Mohanlal plays Odiyan Manikyan, the last surviving member of the Odiyan tribal community, in the film. In Kerala folklore, Odiyans are said to be highly-skilled assassins who possessed shape-shifting abilities and disguised themselves as animals to escape from enemies and scare them.
